What sort of algorithm are you using?  What do the spectral curves look like?
Will there be some interface between the channels and the user?

I'm working on a module for the Object Collection that generates spectra in a
format that is compatible with Lightsys IV and SpectralRender.  However, it
takes an HSV approach instead of an RGB approach.  Since the RGB system is an
artifact of the medium, I did not want to tie down the spectra to that system.

My priority was to generate quasi-realistic spectral curves, and matching
saturation, lightness, and value to any particular color system was /not/ a
consideration.  Therefore, using CRGB2HSV() or CRGB2HSL() and passing the
resulting value to my module will not produce the same results as the rgb (or
srgb) keyword.  (Indeed, passing a bluish green hue with any decent saturation
is likely to produce a color outside the sRGB gamut.)  However, to provide a
convenient and familiar anchor for hue, the hues are matched to the sRGB color
system.

The module is essentially complete, except for some testing.
